[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me you have selective memory or you don't have a HS student without telling me you have selective memory and don't have a HS student.

Our overcrowded HS has people in the auditorium all the time.  Rehearsing, performing, meeting.  There's no time to rent it out to another HS.

If you don't remember because it was a long time ago or you were a football player who's parents only went to the field, don't screw it up for everyone else.

Also - the time to say, "hmm, let's make it an xx school and not a traditional neighborhood/cluster school" was years ago, and with community input, not a couple years before opening when it's already been being in the planning stages as a traditional neighborhood/cluster school for nearly 10 years[/quote]

How many kids play football in each school?   They can share or use other venues like strathmore.  [/quote]

...for football? :shock: [/quote]

A football team can use another location just like other sports do.   A football team is only for what fifty students?[/quote]

Where at Strathmore do you think the football team should play?[/quote]

Woodward is close to WJ. [b]They can share fields,[/b] except no need, because MCPS caved and paid to level the Woodward property at great expense to build Woodward's football field.[/quote]

What do you know about field usage at WJ?[/quote]

They can make it work. [/quote]

Why are people who don't have HS athletes commenting?

No, they can't "make it work."  WJ is extremely overcrowded, and current teams fight for space on the fields (some former field space now covered in portables).    Oh, I suppose if some practice at 5am, and some practice at 10pm, maybe it could work, but that is not going to happen[/quote]Because far-leftists hate sports.[/quote]

[b]We also recognize not all kids participate in sports and it's a select group of kids. [/b] Swim, for example is not in MCPS schools and kids have to go to the pools after school and MCPS doesn't provide a bus, though the should.  They either offer schools without sports that cater to kids who don't want sports or they share fields.[/quote]

That is true for every extracurricular activity. But I don't think MCPS should just stop having extracurricular activities.[/quote]

They wouldn't be stopping having extracurricular's.  One has nothing to do with the other.  They would provide it at a different location.  [/quote]
